We’re sorry to let you know that our good friend Kevin Rubio, the co-writer of Hashtag, has been diagnosed with cancer. He is now undergoing treatment and, as many of you know, it is a bumpy and expensive road. Given this occurred after the pandemic and film industry strikes, this is an especially hard hit for Kevin, a freelance writer in film and television. If you have the ability to support him while he fights this, please consider contributing to his GoFundMe.

From Charlotte Fullerton McDuffie…

This is Charlotte, raising money to cover Kevin’s medical expenses & general life while unable to work.

Any of us freelancers who have gone for long periods of time working at non-union jobs—or with no job at all—have a frighteningly clear idea of what it’s like to get sick with no insurance coverage. Bad enough when you have bronchitis or a sprained wrist—terrifying if you have cancer.

Thank you for your consideration,
The Hashtag family
